WHY YOU SHOULD INCLUDE DRY FISH IN YOUR DIET

Traditional fishing and fish processing are very important activities in the Nigerian Rural and Suburban economy. Dry fish is a common delicacy among our various cultures. Pure dried fish is a completely natural product that retains the antioxidant and OMEGA 3 benefits of fresh fish intact in its dry form. some of the reasons you should include dry fish in your kitchen menu, are:

A. Moisture Content (High shelf life): generally fresh fish have 75-80% moisture content while fish that is properly dried has 5-8% moisture content.properly dried fish has lesser tendency to "rehydrate" and hence is less likely to spoil. SHOJAG FIRST OVEN DRIED FISH guarantees a shelf life of 2 months.

B. Positive Nutritional profile:
a) high protein low calories: proteins are the source of enzymes hormones antibodies and other body components. They are essentially the building blocks of life. Hundred grams of dried fish contains 80% proteins with roughly 300cal. Beef has more than twice calories with less proteins. Dry fish is low in saturated fats as well reducing risk of heart and blood pressure problems.

b) calcium and phosphorus: calcium is abundant in bones as well as phosphorus. Fish especially when consumed "whole" is a good source of the above.

c) Doses of B-vitamins: Fish is generally a good source of the B-vitamins. These vitamins are very essential and easily become deficient.

C. Texture: Dried fish is firm and chewy. It can be soaked if its too hard to soften it up. SHOJAG FIRST OVEN DRIED FISH is neither too hard nor too soft. Perfect texture.

D. OVEN DRIED FISH has no preservatives: Dried fish is a natural product with no added preservatives. The loss in moisture content "concentrates" the nutrients hence making dry whole fish a COMPACT bundle of nutritional goodness.
